Since then, HXC can carry out sustainable report (ESG report) assurance service in Chinese mainland, providing confidence for customers to deal with the challenge of sustainable development and face investors.

AA1000 is the world's first assurance standard for ESG reporting, and it was issued in 2003 by Accountability, a non-profit organization under the Institute for Social and Ethics Responsibility (The Institute for Social and Ethical Account Ability). The purpose is to improve the quality of accounting, auditing and reporting of social and ethical responsibility, promote enterprises to better fulfill their social responsibilities, improve the awareness of corporate social responsibility, and achieve sustainable development.

All sectors of society are gradually paying more attention to corporate social responsibility information. In order to reduce investment risks, investors pay more and more attention to the details of corporate social responsibility performance and related performance. In order for CSR and ESG reports issued by enterprises to gain the trust of stakeholders, they must conduct independent examination to reflect the specific situation of the reports following the principles of substance, responsiveness, influence and inclusiveness, so as to improve the credibility and transparency of information disclosure and enhance the trust and confidence of stakeholders in enterprises. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange, SEC, the European Union and other regulatory agencies also make requirements or suggestions on the quality of sustainable information disclosure of listed companies, and more and more enterprises guarantee the reliability of sustainable development information through third-party inspection.

HXC has been deeply engaged in the field of sustainable development for a long time. The acquisition of this important qualification marks a new level in the field of sustainable development. In the future, HXC will take this as a new opportunity to continue to improve the service level and comprehensively help the construction of sustainable development capacity.
